When the Philadelphia Flyers hit the locker room for the second intermission trailing the powerhouse Tampa Bay Lightning by a score of 5-2, it sure seemed like their chances of pulling out a victory were essentially nonexistent. One spark of hope remained — the Flyers had erased a four-goal deficit in the final stanza against this same club just last month. It could, at least in theory, happen again.

As it turns out, the Flyers apparently were dead set on replicating that November game, but doing so with 100 percent accuracy also required a heartbreaking overtime loss after racing all the way back to tie the contest. Philadelphia evened the score at 5-5 before permitting the game-winner in the extra session after just 18 seconds of play for a 6-5 loss. Alex Killorn was the hero, taking advantage of a screen and a Claude Giroux turnover to rip a shot past Michal Neuvirth and send the home fans out the doors happy.
